The other alternative is to connect any Page you administer to Facebook for Business, Facebook's free business management tool that separates out all the various Facebook admin elements - ads, Page access, role administration. You'll just need to re-adjust your process. Everything you used to be able to do under the old Page login system, you can still do. But as noted, it's important to underline that no functionality has been lost in this update. Which can be annoying, especially, as we all develop routines and habits around such functionalities (the Facebook help forums are currently loaded with questions and comments from Page admins who're upset about this issue). So as you can see, the functionality you've always had remains, you just need to access it a little differently. To do this, you simply select the drop-down menu attached to the profile image on any post and choose which Page you'd like to post a comment as. Comment on or Like Content as PageĪnd the final significant element affected by this recent update is the ability to Like and comment as a Page. Once clicked, you'll be given the option to Like the Page as any of the Pages which you're an administrator of, ensuring that Page's content shows up in your Page News Feed and is listed as a Page liked by your own. If you want to Like other businesses Pages as your Page, instead of under your personal profile, you need to go to the Page you're interested in then click the three dots at the bottom right of the header image. ![]() ![]() To view the News Feed for your Page - the content from the Pages you've liked as your Page, not as yourself - you now need to click on this option in your Page function panel on the left.įrom here you can see all the content served to the Page's News Feed, as well as a listing of all the Pages Liked by the Page. So while it's not immediately obvious where and how you access all the regular functions, they are still there. It's important to note here that Page Admins have not lost access to any functionality as a result of the change, but the process of actually doing these things is different. See, too, in the status update option (at the bottom), it switches to SMT by default - so when I actually do compose a post here, it'll show up under the SMT profile, not my own, but accessing the Page's News Feed is not an immediately obvious option and Liking/commenting on other Pages will default to my profile as opposed to SMT. Not anymore - as you can see from the below screenshot, when I go to the Social Media Today Page, I'm still logged in as myself, as opposed to switching to the SMT account. It used to be that when you went to your Facebook profile and you wanted to switch accounts, you could just go to the top right drop-down menu, switch to your Page and you'd be logged in as that Page, instead of your personal profile. ![]() Well, you can, but the system's been changed to keep you logged in under your personal profile, as opposed to switching between entities (and worth noting, some users have had these changes in place for months, but they were rolled out more widely in the last couple of weeks). Basically, you can't log-in as a Page anymore. If you manage a Facebook business Page, you likely noticed a change earlier this month in how you're able to access and interact with Page content and other Pages when acting in a business capacity.
